Xbow

The Xbow (AKA Crossbow) is a new weapon available in the Aftermath expansion pack. It is used in the Gadget 1 slot in the Assault Kit, Engineer Kit, and Recon Kit. In the Support Kit, it's used in the Gadget 2 slot. This is a single shot and reload crossbow that will kill players with one shot up to a certain range, similar to Bolt-Action Sniper Rifles. The default sight is the Kobra (RDS), which cannot be removed.

Once you have unlocked the new crossbow via the Assignment Sticks and Stones, you will have immediate access to the standard barbed crossbow bolt. Complete three other Assignments to unlock the three other Bolts for use.

"Inspired by real life military engineering ingenuity, this crossbow is created by taking the stock of a malfunctioning assault rifle and adding the other parts needed, like a piece of wire for the string and some scrap metal for the bow mechanic. The result is an improvised and silent way to deliver deadly force to the enemy, including four distinct types of bolts to switch between depending on what the situation calls for."

Since the Xbow is a gadget, the bolts cannot be changed at the loadout menu. Press the fire mode button (DOWN on the D-PAD for consoles) to rotate through all the options.

All bolt ammo will be shared among the four types of bolts - meaning five bolts can be used for the Scan Bolt, three for the BA Bolt, and two for the HE Bolt. This allows players to switch up and use all ten bolts in different situations.
